Solomons 36 sensate hand will often result in a suboptimal clinical and functional outcome.

High Radial Nerve Palsy These patients present with three distinct clinical deficits. • Loss of wrist extension • Loss of thumb extension • Loss of finger extension Most authors would agree that the preferred technique to restore wrist extension is by transferring the pronator teres. This reliable transfer is complicated only by the short donor tendon of pronator teres which needs to be elongated by a strip of periosteum at the time of harvest. In the unlikely scenario where the pronator teres cannot be used, then options include utilizing the FDS tendon from the middle and/or ring finger or performing a single FCU transfer to reconstruct wrist extension, finger extension and thumb extension [4].
